A Pink Farewell to January

 
  
  
  
looking around my home today i was struck by little pink details.
anenomes. tulips. flowered pillowcases. a heart hanging on the bedpost that plays a lullaby when you pull the string.
i was given that pink heart as a gift when I was pregnant with our angel baby.
i was supposed to hold it to my belly so our baby could hear the sweet melody.
our baby is gone, but that pink heart remains.
pink.
pink like rosy baby cheeks.
pink like the soft spotted belly and raspberry paws of a puppy.
like the blushing dawn of a new morning.
and i knew...i am ready for new beginnings.
goodbye january!
i loved the new friends i found in january.
i loved baking up batches of chocolate comfort.
i loved long hours working on photographs, learning a new art.
but you were cold, january.
i am ready now.
ready for a pink february.
so glad you are all joining me.

xoxo country girl

  5. I'm a pink girl, too. And, oh how I love February. I do want to say that I was so very sorry to hear about your baby. Those are such weak words, I know, compared to all the hurt they attempt to help comfort. Still. I am so very, very sorry.

  6. such a lovely post, even though we don't have snow and it's not even very cold where i live, i am looking forward to february and spring as well.
    i love what you are doing with your photos, the soft vintage effect is so pretty. i wish i knew photoshop. but i am a long way from that! the world of digital photography is new to me ( i like film mostly). but you have inspired me.
    happy february!

  9. Dearest Dawn ,that pink heart is a reminder that your beloved Blueberry will always watch over you and the brothers & sisters that WILL join you sometime soon. I too have had enough of January & February - the shortest month - is the herald for Spring. Thare's a wonderful quote in Shadowlands which says something like 'this great, cold, bleak Waiting Room of a World...' & that's what January feels like. Thank you for bringing the soft rosiness to come into my Sunday. Much love xoxo & thanks so much for the anniversary card again, Rachel
